  • frank_jwt

    JSON Web Token implementation in Rust.

  • Today I found out that if I take the access token and decode it using this https://jwt.io/ website and if i change the payload, suppose change the user id sent in it the jwt code also changes. And when I put this manipulated jwt code in as auth header it stills works somehow . Wasn't the simple jwt library supposed to check if payload is changed before authorizing access? what could be the issue here ?
